How to pass credentials in Glue Notebooks - Interactive Session using Magic Commands to override the 1 hour temporary token expiration

Question

Hi, 
If I start the notebook via the console the token/credentials expire after one hour,
Gives the following error "Exception encountered while retrieving session: An error occurred (ExpiredTokenException) when calling the GetSession operation: The security token included in the request is expired " .

I am guessing this is happening since its using temporary credentials by default. How does one pass the credentials using the magic commands such that credentials do not expire or workaround?

I can run notebooks locally using the profile in local .aws folder, but can't use TAGS for the sessions to account for costs.

Answer

From the console Glue notebook, I tried running `%iam_role my-glue-role` magic
 to reset the IAM role and that seemed to do the trick.

```
You are already connected to session axxxxxxx-2xxxx-4xxx-bxxx-0xxxxxxx. Your change will not reflect in the current session, but it will affect future new sessions.

Current iam_role is arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxx:role/my-glue-role
iam_role has been set to my-glue-role.
```

If you are doing it using an API in your computer, you can increase the maximum session duration expiration for temporary credentials for IAM roles using the [DurationSeconds parameter](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRole.html#API_AssumeRole_RequestParameters) for your use case.
